**[02:02] ---**
What should I do? What if Giuse-*san* is mad?
**[02:06] ---**
I hear you put on a big act in Sicily.
**[02:09] ---**
Maybe I overdid it a little?
**[02:11] ---**
Did you make sure?
**[02:14] ---**
If I could, I wouldn't be worried...
**[02:16] ---**
But he seemed normal to me...
**[02:19] ---**
Really?
**[02:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:22] ---**
That's good!
**[02:24] ---**
Henrietta, Triela, enter.
**[02:28] ---**
"Symbiosis"
**[02:54] ---**
Good work, Henrietta.
**[02:56] ---**
Keep it up.
**[02:57] ---**
Okay!
**[02:59] ---**
See!
**[03:00] ---**
Yeah!
**[03:03] ---**
Next up, Angelica and Rico, enter.
**[03:07] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:17] ---**
Angelica!
**[03:18] ---**
Are you alright?
**[03:28] ---**
We have a problem.
**[03:31] ---**
Stop the exercise.
**[03:41] ---**
Are you all right?
**[03:43] ---**
I can walk by myself.
**[03:52] ---**
I'm sorry, Marco-*san*. I'm fine now.
**[03:56] ---**
Not walking like that, you're not.
**[04:00] ---**
Have Ferro take you to the hospital.
**[04:05] ---**
Yes, sir...
**[04:23] ---**
Maybe it was too soon;
she *did* just get out of the hospital.
**[04:26] ---**
You should be more
perceptive of her condition.
**[04:30] ---**
She *asked* to participate in the exercise.
**[04:43] ---**
Back to the training.
**[04:45] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[04:48] ---**
First Elsa's incident, then
Angelica's bad condition--
**[04:51] ---**
you seem to have many setbacks.
**[04:54] ---**
They're within calculated limits.
**[04:56] ---**
Trial runs are just one step--
they still hold much promise.
**[05:01] ---**
Why don't you tell us what you really think?
**[05:04] ---**
Perhaps Section 2 has its limits,
**[05:07] ---**
which are now becoming apparent?
**[05:09] ---**
I beg to differ.
**[05:12] ---**
On the whole, its duties
are being handled smoothly.
**[05:16] ---**
Let's give them some more time.
**[05:29] ---**
Lorenzo, how is it?
**[05:31] ---**
It's not going as we planned.
**[05:34] ---**
After all, these *are* human beings.
**[05:38] ---**
You'll need real results soon,
I can't cover for you forever.
**[05:45] ---**
Yes. I know.
**[05:49] ---**
According to radical
elements within the R.F.,
**[05:52] ---**
they plan to abduct the daughter
of a powerful senator.
**[05:55] ---**
Are you certain of this?
**[05:57] ---**
The information came from
their accountant, Filippo Adani.
**[06:01] ---**
It's fact.
**[06:03] ---**
Fortunately, the target,
**[06:05] ---**
Caterina Sanctis, is close
in age to Section 2's girls.
**[06:10] ---**
We'll let a cyborg be kidnapped,
locate the terrorists' hideout,
**[06:15] ---**
and then take it down.
**[06:16] ---**
A cyborg decoy? Isn't that risky?
**[06:20] ---**
Yeah, I don't know about this...
**[06:22] ---**
Section 2's very existence is in jeopardy!
**[06:26] ---**
But...
**[06:28] ---**
Section 2 *has* been
receiving a lot of criticism.
**[06:32] ---**
We'll have to take some risks.
**[06:37] ---**
We'll use Claes as the decoy.
**[06:44] ---**
They say the next job will be a big one.
**[06:48] ---**
Yeah. Hirscher-*san* said
it's going to be dangerous.
**[06:52] ---**
Say, Claes, aren't you scared to be a decoy?
**[06:57] ---**
Not really.
**[06:59] ---**
The grain of wheat thing?
**[07:05] ---**
No, I'm just following orders.
**[07:08] ---**
What about wheat?
**[07:11] ---**
If a fallen wheat grain survives,
it stays the same.
**[07:15] ---**
But if it dies, a lot grows from it.
**[07:18] ---**
It means that nothing will happen
without someone's sacrifice.
**[07:25] ---**
Marco-*san*.
**[07:28] ---**
Let me help with the operation, too!
**[07:31] ---**
This isn't training. Failure isn't an option.
**[07:35] ---**
I'll try my very best!
**[07:38] ---**
Please!
**[07:44] ---**
I'll think it over.
**[07:47] ---**
Yes, sir...
**[08:40] ---**
Jean, the car is heading toward central Rome.
**[08:43] ---**
Understood.
**[08:49] ---**
Let's go.
**[08:50] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:26] ---**
The transmitter's working.
**[09:28] ---**
The car is heading north from downtown Rome.
**[09:39] ---**
Any problems preparing to follow them?
**[09:43] ---**
We've placed Section 2 members
at key points in the vicinity.
**[09:47] ---**
We placed a tracking
device in one of Claes' teeth,
**[09:52] ---**
but we lost the signal when
they entered some mountains.
**[09:57] ---**
The senator received the first call at home.
**[10:00] ---**
They want to trade for
some incarcerated terrorists.
**[10:05] ---**
So they still don't know
who Claes really is...
**[10:10] ---**
If they do realize she's a fake...
**[10:13] ---**
Claes has almost no combat experience.
**[10:16] ---**
She couldn't hurt anyone as she is.
**[10:20] ---**
That worries me...
**[10:27] ---**
Chief?
**[10:34] ---**
I have a good friend in the military police.
**[10:38] ---**
I'll need backup.
**[11:22] ---**
Nice doing business with you.
**[11:44] ---**
May I talk with her for a moment?
**[11:47] ---**
If it's just for a moment.
**[12:04] ---**
Studying in a place like this?
**[12:06] ---**
No, it's a picture book about plants.
**[12:09] ---**
I used to love picture books!
**[12:11] ---**
Vegetation in the north is
different than in the south, right?
**[12:16] ---**
Yes. Conifers are more
common at higher latitudes.
**[12:22] ---**
You're not worried?
**[12:25] ---**
I'm fine. Reading somehow makes me calm.
**[12:29] ---**
I think I've always liked
books since I was little.
**[12:33] ---**
Besides... I'm not a grain of wheat.
**[12:41] ---**
I see. Well, bye.
**[12:45] ---**
Goodbye.
**[12:51] ---**
They're letting the hostage see their faces.
**[12:55] ---**
Yes. They must not plan to return her alive.
**[12:58] ---**
What a bunch of fools.
**[13:01] ---**
I hope that girl teaches them a lesson...
**[13:06] ---**
That grain of wheat...
**[13:07] ---**
What?
**[13:09] ---**
Nothing. Let's get out of here.
**[13:22] ---**
Chief Lorenzo!
**[13:27] ---**
The police received an anonymous call.
**[13:29] ---**
What?
**[13:33] ---**
They're at a northern villa.
At least 20 terrorists.
**[13:39] ---**
There's even info about the villa's layout...
**[13:42] ---**
Can we trust this information?
**[13:44] ---**
The terrorists could've
leaked it to throw the police off.
**[13:48] ---**
Supposedly, the caller was a young woman.
**[13:51] ---**
A woman?
**[13:54] ---**
There's no way to find out more.
**[13:56] ---**
Our only option is to survey
the area, but that'd take time.
**[14:01] ---**
This operation will end in
failure if we take too long.
**[14:04] ---**
I recognize the risk. Let's crush them!
**[14:17] ---**
We'll approach from
the mountains behind the villa.
**[14:25] ---**
After touchdown, Giuse,
Henrietta, Jean, and Rico
**[14:30] ---**
will enter from the front as a feint,
**[14:33] ---**
and we'll enter from the terrace area.
**[14:36] ---**
We only have one shot at this.
**[14:50] ---**
Stop.
**[15:17] ---**
Good luck...
**[15:45] ---**
Alright. Understood.
**[15:47] ---**
The army's analysis team has located Claes.
**[15:51] ---**
Looks like things worked out fine.
**[15:54] ---**
But the real show has yet to begin.
**[15:56] ---**
We *must* destroy the terrorists on our own.
**[16:26] ---**
Ange,
**[16:28] ---**
it's okay. Just calm down.
**[16:31] ---**
Get up here!
**[16:34] ---**
We're in position. How about you?
**[16:36] ---**
We've just landed on the roof.
**[16:39] ---**
Good. We'll charge inside
in exactly three minutes.
**[16:41] ---**
Synchronize your watch.
**[16:43] ---**
Five, four, three, two, one... set.
**[16:49] ---**
Rico, you cover us.
**[16:51] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[16:52] ---**
Here we go, Henrietta.
**[16:56] ---**
Right.
**[17:15] ---**
What the... Is it the cops?!
**[17:17] ---**
No.
**[17:33] ---**
All the guards are dead! We're being raided!
**[18:02] ---**
Angelica?!
**[18:03] ---**
Ange! Come back!
**[18:06] ---**
What's wrong, Triela?!
**[18:08] ---**
Ange ran off by herself!
**[18:36] ---**
Don't move.
**[18:39] ---**
You're dead no matter what you do.
**[18:46] ---**
Ange?!
**[18:59] ---**
Claes! Are you ok?!
**[19:01] ---**
Ange's been hurt!
**[19:05] ---**
Angelica!
**[19:26] ---**
Marco-*san*...
**[19:28] ---**
What the hell were you thinking?
**[19:36] ---**
I told you not to drag everyone down!
**[19:40] ---**
Marco! That's enough!
**[20:20] ---**
Angelica, are you alright?
**[20:22] ---**
Yes.
**[20:24] ---**
I'm glad you seem well!
**[20:28] ---**
I hope you get better
and come back to the dorms soon!
**[20:42] ---**
You know the truth.
**[20:46] ---**
We're all going to die!
**[20:48] ---**
We're going to die not knowing anything!
**[20:51] ---**
If Marco-*san* is going to
keep treating me coldly,
**[20:55] ---**
then I'd rather die now!
**[21:00] ---**
If you want to die, then die!
**[21:02] ---**
I shouldn't have saved you!
**[21:17] ---**
Claes!
**[21:31] ---**
*I couldn't see behind
Claes' glasses well enough*
**[21:35] ---**
*to tell if she was angry or crying...*
**[21:40] ---**
*But Angelica's words,
"We're all going to die,"*
**[21:46] ---**
*never stopped ringing in her ears.*
**[23:04] ---**
